Extra StaminaExtra Stamina gives you more movement decisions in a fight. An additional dash or air movement option can be the difference between dodging a readable threat and having nothing left after spending stamina to farm or trade.
Players who need an extra dodge or escape after using movement to trade, engage, or farm.
Preserve part of the extra capacity for the enemy's readable control or damage commitment. More stamina is useful when it leaves you a second movement decision.
Against Warden: Buy Extra Stamina and preserve at least one escape charge. Warden's cage becomes much more dangerous after your stamina is reduced, so increasing the pool gives you more room for the dash-slide and heavy-melee escape.
Spending all of the added capacity before the threat arrives recreates the same escape problem. Resource management still matters.
Buy it when you regularly run out of movement before the enemy's important ability arrives. Preserve the added capacity for that threat rather than spending it all on your approach.

Stamina MasteryStamina Mastery supports matchups that demand repeated movement, including successive dodges and vertical escapes. The extra flexibility helps only if you keep a reserve for the next threat instead of spending every movement option on the first exchange.

Enduring SpeedEnduring Speed helps you reclaim distance against slows and persistent chases. The speed and slow resistance matter most when they let you leave an enemy's preferred range, break an exposed angle, or arrive at cover before another trade.

Warp StoneWarp Stone gives you an immediate position change and bullet resistance, helping escape a close threat or committed damage angle. Pick a destination that removes follow-up pressure; teleporting within the same danger wastes much of the opportunity.
